Almere City

WLWDWW

Almere City will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Eerste Divisie success versus FC Dordrecht.

The only name on the scoresheet from Almere City was Anthony Limbombe (24').

A recurring aspect of recent Almere City games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have lost. Still, we must now wait to see whether such a trend shall be maintained in this game.

Heading into this contest, Almere City have not registered a win against VVV-Venlo in their previous 15 league games. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.

VVV-Venlo

LWWLWW

VVV-Venlo will go into this game following on from a 4-0 Eerste Divisie win against Den Bosch in their most recent game.

For VVV-Venlo, the scorers were Robert Klaasen (32'), Kees de Boer (45', 58') and Sven Braken (70').

Proving their penchant for fruitful matches, goals have been scored 20 times in the previous 6 matches in which VVV-Venlo have taken to the field, yielding a mean average of 3.33 goals each clash. Their opponents have hit 7 of these goals.

Coming into this contest, VVV-Venlo haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

ℹ️ Team News: Almere City

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Almere City manager Alex Pastoor to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Faiz Mattoir (Cruciate Ligament Injury) misses out.

🗞️ Team News: VVV-Venlo

Due to a fully injury-free group available to choose from, the VVV-Venlo boss Rick Kruys does not have any fitness worries at all before this match.

💡 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, VVV-Venlo will need to put in a solid display to break down this Almere City lineup who we reckon should score one, at least.

We therefore fancy a hard-fought 1-0 winning score for Almere City when the full-time whistle blows.

A close call.
